I have a question. I haven't received my evaluation letter yet. All I got so far was the acknowledgement letter that they received my pharmcas and supplemental from on 11/8 . Do you think this is normal?

You could try and call them and see what they have to say. Don't be afraid to bother them. They are paid for you to call and bother them if you have any questions.

when did you submit your pharmcas application and your USC supplemental?

I sent in my pharmcas to USC 8/1 and sent the supplemental late october right before Halloween. Thanks for your replies !

hmm, your supplemental is kind of late, that's probably why theres a delay in getting to your application. check out the older threads from older years to see on average when people receive eval letters for late october submissions

just out of curiosity, do you guys think it's better to contact the admission's office through e-mail or phone? and why?

I think it'll depend on the nature of your question. If it's something that does not need to be answered immediately, use the e-mail so they can respond during a convenient time. I would use the phone only if it's more urgent.

Do you know if they send out interview invites all at once? I got my confirmation email in the mid of Oct. but still haven't heard anything from them
Did you receive an evaluation email before your interview invite?

You will hear your result at the end of the third week after your interview date. Mine came on a Saturday of the third week, after my initial interview date.

do they also notify you if you're accepted through email and mail or just mail? I heard the socal regions get their acceptance faster than norcal areas. do you mind if i ask if you live in the socal region when you got your mail? and congrats! =)

Oh I forgot to mention that I'm from SoCal. I only got their letter through snail mail, no email.

do you think they actually pulled some AC's off from the first round? I almost feel like they're just accepting 15 from each new interview group.

last year, they said they pulled off 3 from the AC list, but the numbers seem a little different this year.

if they do 15 for each group, that leaves 60 people being seated excluding AC. then maybe 30 people from the TAP auto acceptance program. which leaves about 90-100 seats or so right? so if they do 15 per group, thats 90-100 from the AC pool, which is kind of weird because basically that's ~340 people to choose from right? at that point, they'll forget us from the first interview. if AC works by assigning us ranks and stats, then it doesn't really matter when they pull us off.

i think they'll be accepting a few from the first interview off of AC just because of the small number they accepted the first time around. this time, they have a pool of about like 200 people to look at including AC and the jan interview.

I agree with you because it wouldn't make any sense to wait until April and re-review about 350 students. If they're doing a ranking system, they have to re-rank each time a new set of interview students come up. Hopefully they'll accept at LEAST 15 more from the first interview group. If they do that, by April, they will have 120 students picked out (which seems more reasonable than 60). Let's just hope so!!

many of my top gpa friends got accepted into uop and waiting for ucsf interview got put on hold by USC. so i am assuming that USC is pretty strict this year somehow

From what I remember, the dean told us that there will be 15 students accepted from each interview date. and only 15. I'm not sure if he was considering some of the students from previous AC list to be a part of the 15 accepted from each date. However, what I got from it was 15 students from their respective interview date would be considered. Then, everybody else would be placed into the AC list for a total of 60 students to be accepted (nobody from AC). The remaining 125 students (for a grand total of 185) will be from the AC list and TAP.

I'm assuming that the the acceptance list is by some sort of ranking system, and those who made the cut off made it in.

i applied with a 3.9+ supplemental app gpa and am hoping to get off of AC. my undergrad university is ucsd. i didn't wear a suit though, just a tie and a dress shirt along with dress pants and shoes. maybe that explains it! lol.

ok, i mean if thats what they said, then that's probably what's going to happen. which means, our fates are already sealed by numerical means, meaning that USC should be rejecting people who have no physical chance of making it just out of courtesy, it's kind of ridiculous imo

also, i just realized that there's no advantage in applying early (which they recommend doing) if they accept 15 from each session only. so my assumption is that it will be 15 people including those from the first interview.
